To veteran pipe smokers, Dunhill needs no introduction. Beginning in 1907, Alfred Dunhill began selling Dunhill pipes at the tobacconist shop he owned on London’s Duke Street. Very quickly, these pipes gained the reputation of being the ‘Rolls-Royce’ of pipes due to how expertly crafted they were. Today, Dunhill is likely Britain’s most famous pipe manufacturer, and continues to produce some of the most treasured pipes a smoker can buy.

We get plenty of high-grade pipes through our trade-in program, but it’s not often that we receive something like this: a small number of two-piece brass and cumberland (red and black ebonite) pipe tools, made by Dunhill around the late 1990s. They’re completely unused, and they come with their original boxes. Each is inlaid with Dunhill’s famous ‘White Spot’ and is stamped with the ‘dunhill’ nomenclature used in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
